This forwards an approved change tcDOD 4000.25-M, Defense Logistics

Manasement Svstem IDLMS) and DOD 4000.25-2-M, MILSTRAP, with a revised

joint implementation date of August 2003. This approved change was

initially issued July 27, 2000 with a December 2004 joint implementation

date to accommodate the outside implementation date provided by Army.

However in May 2001 Army advised that they could implement ADC 14

immediately. Accordingly DLMSO restaffed the request for implementation

date to establish an earlier joint unplementation date.

During staffing the issue of disposal of SCC V assets was addressed.

For clarification, a note has been added to the SCC V definition stating

that SCC V assets are not authorized for turn-in to DRMO and that the

Services are responsible for appropriate disposal of the assets.

Addressees may direct questions to Ms. Mary Jane Johnson,(703) 767-

c. Procedures:

 

 (1) DLMS. Add the following new code to DLMS Data 

Element 1270 Code List Qualifier Code 84, Supply Condition Code.

(SCC)

Unserviceable (waste military munitions) Waste 

military munitions will be assigned code V only 

under the authority of a designated DoD or Service 

Designated Disposition Authority. The waste 

munitions must meet criteria of waste munitions 

under the Environmental Protection Agency Military 

Munitions Rule and DoD Munitions Rule 

Implementation Policy; be safe to store and ship 

based on DoD Safety Board/Department of 

Transportation Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 

criteria and have a current serviceability 

inspection. (NOTE: SCC V assets are not 

authorized for turn-in to DRMO. The Services are 

responsible for appropriate disposal of SCC V 

assets.)

(2) DLSS. Revise DoD 4000.25-2-M MILSTRAP Appendix B6, by 

adding:

CODE TITLE DEFINITION

V Unserviceable 

(waste military 

munitions)

Waste military munitions will be assigned Code 

V only under the authority of a designated DoD 

or Service Designated Disposition Authority. 

The waste munitions must meet criteria of 

waste munitions under the Environmental 

Protection Agency Military Munitions Rule 

Implementation Policy, be safe to store and 

ship based on DoD Explosive Safety 

Board/Department of Transportation criteria 

and have a current serviceability inspection.

(NOTE: SCC V assets are not authorized for 

turn-in to DRMO. The Services are responsible 

for appropriate disposal of SCC V assets.)

4. REASON FOR CHANGE:

The Joint Ordnance Commanders Group (JOCG) chartered the 

Munitions Rule Implementation Council (MRIC) to create and 

coordinate Department of Defense (DoD) service procedures for 

implementation of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) 

Military Munitions Rule (MR). For successful implementation of the 

EPA MR and DoD implementation policy in a uniform manner, the 

services must have a method to consistently process, identify, 

report and segregate these unserviceable waste munitions once they 

are identified as waste military munitions. To do so, the MRIC 

proposed the use of a unique condition code.

ADC 14, SCC V

Attachment

The Federal Facility Compliance Act (FFCA), passed by Congress 

in 1992, requires the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to 

publish regulations that identify when conventional and chemical 

military munitions become waste, subject to Subtitle C of the 

Resource Conversation and Recovery Act. These regulations also need 

to provide for the safe storage and transportation of such waste. 

Accordingly, the EPA Military Munitions Rule (MR) was developed in 

response to section 107 of the FFCA. The MR defines when military 

munitions become waste and how these waste military munitions will 

be managed and regulated.

The effective date of the EPA MR was August 12, 1997. It is 

essential to provide consistent application of the MR throughout the 

DoD and across various states and regulating bodies. The EPA MR has 

established definitive guidance for when munitions become waste. 

Waste munitions must be segregated from the rest of the active 

inventory.

Within DoD, there is no single accountability system for 

munitions. Each Service applies their own codes in Service unique 

ways. A SCC to identify unserviceable waste munitions can be 

universally used among all services. Army initially requested 

establishment of this new supply condition code in support of the 

EPA Military Munitions Rule. An August 1999 Army email containing 

background on the purpose of SCC V is enclosed for information

purposes.

5. ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES:

a. Advantages: Implementation of this condition code will 

allow all services to record and track decisions regarding waste 

military munitions in a standard manner. This will greatly reduce 

the possibility for notices of violation from the regulatory 

community.

b. Disadvantages: None known.

6. INTERFACE/IMPACT:

a. Interface:

1. Requires interface between the Services’ and Agencies’ 

wholesale and retail ammunition systems.

2. Requires Supply Process Review Committee representative 

coordination with their Service or Agency MILSTRAP, ammunition, Joint 

Physical Inventory Working Group (JPIWG), and transportation 

counterparts.

b. Impact:

1. Requires modification of component systems and 

procedures to recognize the new code.

2. DLMS impact: Segment LQ, Data Element 1270, code list 

qualifier 83, requires revision to add a new DLMS condition code to 

the list published in DLMS.

Subject: Implementation of CCV

1. The Environmental Protection Agency, in response to section 107 of

the Federal Facility Compliance Act (FFCA) of 1992, published on

February 12, 1997 in the Federal Register, pages 6622 to 6657 as part of

40 Code of Federal Regulations part 260 the rule on military munitions;

the title being: Military Munitions Rule; Hazardous Waste

Identification and Management, Explosives Emergencies, Manifest

Exemption for Transport of Hazardous Waste on Right-of-Ways on

Contiguous Properties, Final Rule.

2. Since Feb 12, 1997, the EPA has published in the designated volumes

for the protection of the environment in the appropriate chapters and

sections of 40 Code of Federal Regulations parts 260-299, the

information first published in the Federal Register.

3. The final rule defines when munitions become a waste and when these

wastes are subject to the Resource Recovery and Conservation Act

(RCRA). Once subject to RCRA, the munitions must be accounted for and

managed in accordance with the provisions within the act.

4. To assure the accountability and the identification of Unserviceable

(Waste, Military Munitions) through out its generation, transportation,

storage and its end state - treatment/disposal - a new supply condition

code was needed. This code was approved by DLMSO as SCC V. With the use

of the condition code, the waste munitions can now be traced, accounted

for and identified at the retail, wholesale and user level, within each

service and when transported from one service to another.

5. RCRA is a Federal act but compliance enforcement is at the state

level. Legislative passage is required by the states in their periodic

update of RCRA after the EPA makes changes in the statute. Twenty-six

states have passed acts making the EPA final rule on waste military

munitions part of state law. The others are in the process of reviewing

the final rule for later adoption. It should be noted that some state

legislative bodies are not in session every year and some are in session

for only a short time. CCV is being used in those states where

regulators require immediate identification for those munitions

classified as waste.

6. The Army is taking measures to fully implement CCV in the automated

systems that are used in the retail and wholesale level. The Army

estimates that the systems used in these activities will be fully

operational with the Supply Condition Code V by the end of FY2002. If

sufficient funding becomes available in the near future to allow for

increased effort to upgrade the automated programs, the date for full

implementation can be expected to be sooner.
